UK, Ireland / Female health in Britain - Polish view [105]
Sorry to upset you, mod. of course there are good sides. and there are bad sides as well, like someone I know who can't get and endocrinology appointment because the NHS queue is so long... since 2007. Not that we don't have queues in Poland - of course we do.
What I picked out was of particular interest to me - why i can't just go to a gyno and have to speak to a general practitioner? I do anyway, I go to Poland for my doctors (except what I would see a first contact doctor anyway), my hair, nails and teeth. Which means a bad hair day most of the time. It would just be easier if all those things were in place.
And I really don't think female health is at it's best, but that of course means that 'best' is not the same for everyone. It seems that in the UK people suffer it through and persevere with it, rather than go to the doctor and complain and get cured. That must be linked to your WW experience, the great plagues, the famines, even the fencing of the pastures. It's very brave, but in modern times shouldn't be necessary.
And midwife is a położna, they are working in Poland as well. I think they are regarded as birth nurses, not doctors, and therefore don't lead a case.
